Hate Sites

While doing a project on hate sites and pro sites there where many questions I had to ask myself. The first was can these hate sites be considered to be encouraged because of our rights of free speech. These hates site are expressing their right of freedom of speech but at the cost of a person or business. There were more hate sites than sites supporting them. The project asked to find a hate site and then find a pro site opposing the hate site. There is no reason why there are more hate sites on the Internet than sites informing or supporting people. There can be debates about the reasoning and purpose of these site but the question is; Can these sites be constituted to be an expression of free speech?
